Comey's sworn testimony to Congress on *why* the FBI decided to open counterintelligence cases on four people in the Trump campaign ("not the campaign itself" says Comey), and *when* they did it, is completely contradicted by the story the FBI told the IG

Also Comey: "The Trump campaign was not under investigation". In "late July", we opened cases on four Americans to see if they were working with the Russians.

OR, did they open Crossfire, form a team, then do an objective analysis on who might be working with the Russians, and only based on a reasonable articulable set of facts, open CI cases on three Americans, and add a fourth later?🤔

Because both of those stories can't be true.

Given these contradictions, it's far more plausible that what really happened is the top echelon of the FBI wanted to investigate the campaign, wanted to investigate certain people in the campaign, and went ahead and did it. Then concocted a cover story afterwards
